Just sayin' hi. Things are looking up. I just gained two more social media clients! My small biz is taking off. I've been doing social media managing and marketing for artists in town. Gonna be in the running for a grant soon. With the grant, I'll be able to rent a location and have a showroom for the artists that have social media packages with...

glad your work and efforts are paying off!

Running your own biz isn't easy; I have several different business ventures, and they all take time and energy, and it can be tiring. I'm glad you're getting some traction. If you want to meet up for coffee in Santa Fe and talk social media and entrepreneurship, I'd love that. Meanwhile, I recommend checking out Fizzle.co and their podcast, The Fizzle Show. They're super fucking smart 30-something entrepreneurs who really know their stuff; the podcast is brilliant and funny, and also teaches some pretty solid 21st-century marketing skills. Cheers!

that is so beautiful, I am from New York and the east but hope to see the Grand Canyon and the southwest this fall. I hear it is really "big" out there.

@Softnsweet - WHHHHHHAAAAAA!?!??!! You haven't been west yet? It will BLOW YOUR MIND WIDE OPEN. Big is an understatement. When you see the stars at night it's like being in the planetarium. Anyhow, keep me posted on where you are going exactly. I know a lot about New Mexico and Arizona.
I'm feeling really emotional. My son turned one yesterday and I've lost some friends this week (different circumstances, some over conflict, others died). I keep over thinking everything I do, wondering how to further my art career, blah blah blah. Is this the beginning of a midlife crisis?
LoL and yikes.
I keep fighting my self doubt.

happy birthday to him and you, quite an accomplishment with stress, worry and lots of love when possible. all blah blah aside you seem to be doing alot and feeling some fatigue and fear/doubt seems normal but uncomfortable. I hope you have support around your losses.

A crisis can also be an opportunity, as the cliche goes. Every decade of life delivers novel challenges; I hope you can transform the self doubt into inspiration to keep going!
This morning I woke up feeling lost. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing anymore by working at my art so hard. I create something everyday. I live for it. I lose my mind and control of my emotions if I don't make something daily. It's my bread and butter. My soul. My life. I breathe art.
I've done all the right things....

I've been in need of a place to work that's not my home for the past year. Rent for a working studio in Santa Fe ain't cheap. I am limited in what I can print and produce because I don't have the space and I can't use certain chemicals in the house. That being said, this AMAZING institution in town is about to open up....

@majorphazorlazor - I JUST heard about Patreon. I need to get on that shit. I'm originally from NYC, so Santa Fe doesn't really seem all that expensive to me...until I compare it to Albuquerque. lol. Are you still in Burque? If so, I'll message you when I have my next show. Should be in May. Thank you so much for offering to help support my work. I got lucky. Someone totally bought me the yearly gift pass. :D
majorphazorlazor:
Yeah, Patreon is super cool, thought about using it for game dev for a while. I'm still in Burque for the foreseeable future (love that you actually called it by the local name), so hit me up when it happens. I might not be that active on here by then (the social dynamic here is honestly kinda boring), but I did follow your instagram, so I'll just find out about it that way. That's great that someone was able to pick up the membership! Not gonna lie, I'm kinda jealous, I've been meaning to get more active with a laser cutter for a while now.
